1930’s Egg and Spoon Race – A Glevum Game, England

Description

Here we have a classic Children’s party game dating from the 1930’s.  This rare early version was made in England by Roberts Brothers of Gloucester, under their Glevum Trade Mark.  Still in its original box, the game is in amazing condition for its age, you will not find a better example.  The fitted box is straight with all corners intact.  The game pieces are also in excellent condition with little sign of use.  It appears to be complete with six wooden egg cups, six “spoons” and twelve coloured eggs.  Instructions are printed on a label, attached to the underside of the box lid.   As with many of these early games, the artwork on the box label is excellent and evocative of the period.
